The Good Ideas Salon, hosted by PSFK and Nissan, will bring together some of today’s most forward thinkers on October 20 to share their ideas on what will make the world better for the future.

Web entrepreneur and vegan Peter Rojas will serve on the panel of distinguished guest for the “Pure Living” conversation moderated by Piers Fawkes (PSFK) and psfk.com gave a preview of what Peter might share during the conversation.

Q: How do you see the ideal of pure living manifesting itself practically in the world today?
PR: In ways that people are living in ways that lessen their impact on the world: living closer to work so they don’t have to drive (as much), traveling less, going vegetarian, etc.

Q: How do you see pure living playing out in the future?
PR: In some respects we won’t have any choice but to live less resource-intensive lives. Barring some breakthrough in renewable energy (like cold fusion), we won’t have enough energy to lead the same kind of consumption-driven lives we lead now. The challenge will be to design an economy that isn’t driven by ever-increasing production and consumption.

Ed Begley Jr. Rachelle Carson Studio City Favorite Spots

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 16th, 2009 in Business, Couples, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

Alliance For Children's Rights' 2nd Annual "Dinner With Friends"

Ed Begley Jr. and Rachelle Carson are the perfect example of a vegan and an omnivore making it work when dining out.

The couple recently told the LA Times where they go to grab a bite in Studio City, California that can please both of their palates.

Ed Begley Jr.: Our favorite restaurant is probably the Vegan Plate right here in Studio City. I live at that place. Also the Outtake Cafe. It’s right in the neighborhood too. You can go in there casual, in jeans, but it’s still really good food.

Rachelle Carson: Ed usually walks there — he walks everywhere — and I’ll drive right behind him in the car. I usually order the salmon, it’s excellent, and they’ve also got the best Chinese chicken salad.

EB: I’m a vegan, but they’re able to accommodate us. I like the soups and vegetable plates, and they have terrific salads.

Are you in a mixed diet relationship where you have to compromise to enjoy a lunch or dinner that suits both of you?

Rihanna Album Photo Shoot Berlin: Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 16th, 2009 in Female Singers, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

**RESTRICTIONS APPLY** Rihanna keeps her head down and her shades on as she has dinner in New York City

Rihanna was recently in Berlin for a photo shoot for the cover of her next album.

Rihanna wore a thick, white fur coat as you can see in pictures from the shoot, done by Ellen Von Unwerth.

While The Sun is reporting the coat was faux fur, The Daily Mail isn’t specifying.

Rihanna’s been known to walk around in mammal looking wear before, like in the pic above, but is she cruel enough to leave real animals out of her Umbrella of love?

Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself.

Will Rihanna’s new album have her faking it?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 16th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors, Books, Videos.

A behind the scenes look at the photo shoot for Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet vegan lifestyle book.

Everyone gets the star studded treatment in this clip-even a carrot!

The camera also catches delicious desserts, fresh produce, and recipes in the making. Looks like one clip captured a bowl with leftover dough or batter.

Time to lick that bowl like there’s no risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs!

Watch the clip to also catch a glimpse of Alicia’s hottie rocker husband, Christopher.
